BACKGROUND
At the Historical Commission’s September 21, 2022 meeting, it considered a recommendation by its Path of History Subcommittee to have timeline signs installed throughout the walking paths at Dominguez Park that would highlight key moments in Redondo Beach’s history. Included as Attachment 1 is information prepared by the Path of History Subcommittee for the development of these signs including examples of historical events that could be included.
The Historical Commission approved the subcommittee’s recommendation and requested for the Recreation and Parks Commission to subsequently consider its inclusion in the Dominguez Park Play Equipment, Landscape and Walkway Capital Improvement Project #30730 (CIP). Included as Attachment 2 is an example of the sign, prepared by the Path of History Subcommittee for the Recreation and Parks Commission’s consideration. The cost of each sign would be approximately $500.
If the Recreation and Parks Commission affirms the Historical Commission’s recommendation, staff would determine whether this additional item can be included as part of the existing CIP or whether it would need to be separately funded. Development of the signs’ verbiage and webpage(s) with additional information would be coordinated with the Historical Commission’s Path of History Subcommittee.
